One Ring

Tolkien’s One Ring and the Desire to Obtain it The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien explores the adventure of Frodo Baggins and the One Ring of power created by Sauron, the Dark Lord. Throughout the three texts, The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King, Tolkien creates a world that is affected by choice and desire. The characters that interact with Sauron’s ring of power stretch across all three books and across all social statuses and races. Humans, immortal beings (the wizards), Hobbits, and Elves all seem affected in some way by the Ring or at least have the potential of the Ring affecting them. The One Ring in Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings affects characters in the same way but through different…

At the heart of this story and movie is The Ring and it is The One Ring of power. Lord of the Rings is a tale of good deeds that triumph over evil. It is also a story of power and corruption.

Little Indian Poem. Each time someone had died, they died because of the poem. Each time someone did die, one china figure would disappear. “He was staring at the China figures in the centre of the table...I could’ve sworn there were ten of them” (Christie 74). This makes the mood suspicious because who knows who’s taking those figures away- or if they are even getting taken away. Maybe Mr. Rogers misplaced them. If not, what is happening with them? This makes the reader want to know more about…

Ever heard of the Lord of the Rings? If the answer is yes, amazing; if the answer is “no”, well, the answer is hopefully not “no.” Although it is merely a work of fiction, the Lord of the Rings has characters that possess honorable traits.

take an evil ring to Mount Doom. Lord of The Rings is by far the best movie series, with its mythical world, the plot and characters, and dialogue. The legendarium of Middle Earth is home to many races and creatures real, and nonexistent. Words can not explain how the author of the original books, JRR Tolkien, thought of this world and everything in it. In the series there are many races; men, elves, dwarves, ents, orcs, trolls, goblins, and wizards. Each one having their own…
